KATSEYE are gearing up to take make their debut at the Coachella Festival in Indio, Calif. on Friday night (April 10) and to hear the group tell it they are taking inspiration from one of the event’s all-time greatest headliners.

“I feel like we’re heavily inspired by Beyoncé at Coachella,” member Lara Raj told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in a new interview ahead of the show of Bey’s iconic 2018 “Beychella” sets that paid tribute to HBCUs and Southern Black culture. “I mean, the most iconic. We are so inspired by the 2000s and how the showmanship of those artists were so valued, and to have shows that were so maximal and so many things going on. I think that’s something we really want to carry. We want it to be a circus; people are watching and they’re constantly excited by something that’s going on. That’s definitely a big inspiration.”
